About Stateline
Stateline journalists illuminate the big challenges and policy trends that cross state borders. We cover health care, education, the environment and other issues that shape our daily lives — and can be influenced by unseen forces.
Stateline is part of States Newsroom, the nation’s largest state-focused nonprofit news organization, with reporting from every capital. We provide our coverage for free — no pop-ups, paywalls or ads. We encourage other digital, print and broadcast outlets to republish our content.
Our funding comes from individual contributions and institutional grants. We don’t accept corporate donations or underwriting, nor do we accept donations from foreign governments or anonymous sources.
Stateline joined States Newsroom in 2023, transitioning from its longtime home at The Pew Charitable Trusts.
